Some photos show the wreckage, and there isn`t much left intact.

Aircraft involved was ZJ131 coded P. Callsign Sword01 846 NAS.

I saw that on youtube, all looked fine but then the aircraft seemed to twitch and possibly stall,looked as if it came down fairly gently-hard to tell when it`s moving so slowly.
The engine sounded a little rough,apprently it`s thought the engine lost power.

Aviation News / B747 turning back
Last post by angry turnip - May 30, 2026, 17:48
1745 Noticed Air Atlanta Icelandic Boeing 747-400 TF-AMP as ABD7046 was heading NW then turned back,did a few orbits over North Donegal,now seems to be          heading back to Leige.

I don`t see an emergency squawk, but seems a little odd.

UPDATE: It returned to Leige.
